Gaisce Glas is the first of its kind within Gaisce. The training will take place weekly online over the course of 13 Weeks.

The Green School Team planted an oak tree as part of their plan to improve the natural environment on campus and raise awareness of the importance of trees for air quality, sustainable flora and fauna habitats and general wellbeing.
Our Polytunnel, vegetable and flower beds are a great resource and help to educate the school community on all aspects of horticulture.
Well done to the Home Economics Department who are now composting!
